### 2.1. Textual Conventions

       -- textual conventions

       Party ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
           STATUS       current
           DESCRIPTION
                   "Denotes a SNMPv2 party identifier.

                   Note that agents may impose implementation
                   limitations on the length of OIDs used to identify
                   Parties. As such, management stations creating
                   new parties should be aware that using an
                   excessively long OID may result in the agent
                   refusing to perform the set operation and instead
                   returning the appropriate error response, e.g.,
                   noCreation."
           SYNTAX       OBJECT IDENTIFIER

       TAddress ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
           STATUS       current
           DESCRIPTION
                   "Denotes a transport service address.

                   For snmpUDPDomain, a TAddress is 6 octets long,
                   the initial 4 octets containing the IP-address in
                   network-byte order and the last 2 containing the
                   UDP port in network-byte order.  Consult [5] for
                   further information on snmpUDPDomain."
           SYNTAX       OCTET STRING

       Clock ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
           STATUS       current
           DESCRIPTION
                   "A party's authentication clock - a non-negative
                   integer which is incremented as specified/allowed
                   by the party's Authentication Protocol.

                   For noAuth, a party's authentication clock is
                   unused and its value is undefined.

                   For v2md5AuthProtocol, a party's authentication
                   clock is a relative clock with 1-second
                   granularity."
           SYNTAX       UInteger32

       Context ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
           STATUS       current
           DESCRIPTION
                   "Denotes a SNMPv2 context identifier.

                   Note that agents may impose implementation
                   limitations on the length of OIDs used to identify
                   Contexts. As such, management stations creating new
                   contexts should be aware that using an excessively
                   long OID may result in the agent refusing to
                   perform the set operation and instead returning
                   the appropriate error response, e.g., noCreation."
           SYNTAX       OBJECT IDENTIFIER

       StorageType ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
           STATUS       current
           DESCRIPTION
                   "Describes the memory realization of a conceptual
                   row.  A row which is volatile(2) is lost upon
                   reboot.  A row which is nonVolatile(3) is backed
                   up by stable storage.  A row which is permanent(4)
                   cannot be changed nor deleted."
           SYNTAX       INTEGER {
